Spots to cool off at AK?

[crusoe2]

We haven't been to AK yet so I am not as familiar with it as I am some of the other parks. I've read that it is usually hotter there than at the other parks, tho. I was wondering if anyone can recommend some quiet spots (other than restaurants and shops) to get in out of the heat and cool off for a few minutes. We know about spots in the other parks like the movie theater and the TTA at MK. Does AK have any attractions or places that would give us a few minutes of quiet in the AC? We are going in July and will have our 18 mo DD with us so I thought it would be a good idea to have some spots in mind. Thanks.

The Festival of the Lion King has been enclosed and air conditioned. Kali River Rapids is *great* for getting soaked in. We also like to head back to Rafiki's Planet Watch and hang out in the education building. Very cool back there. The petting zoo is right there, too.

For outside, we like going down back by the water, dang it, can't remember the name of the barbeque place, but it's right by there.

The digging pit (through the Boneyard) is a great place to sit for a long time while the kids quietly play.

It is cool in It's Tough to be a Bug. Also the listening rooms at Planet watch are a great place to relax and cool off.

The Flame Tree BBQ is the restaurant your thinking of. It is really great to si next to the water. We were there in Feb and you can see the constucion for EE.

Yes, I would also have to say the education building is a great place to cool off. We were there in August and when we entered that building I was in heaven. Great place to get yourself all refreshed.
